Does Filament Brand of a specific category (PETG) Matter When Printing?

[ilikefish69]

I have been trying to print a stupid blue resin set. I do not have my normal blue filament. I normally use Elegoo Rapid PETG. Black, red , blue, white. They did not have 2 day shipping (for the 1st time ever) when I placed the order, it’s here at the end of April or somethin, so I order more yesterday. I hate Amazon. Currently trying to figure out how to use trash Micro Center PETG on an Ender 3 V3 KE.

Does anyone have any idea why all of these were printed the same way and all the filaments I like and prefer print fine, but this and the other Inland filaments suffer. crappy blue Inland filament. I hate it but if anyone has any ideas i am all ears?

Looks like it needs a couple more degrees on the hothead.

Yes it matters. It can even make a difference in the same brand. The low gloss PETG from 3DXTech takes quite a bit more heat then their standard PETG.

Don’t you build profile libraries for each material/brand/colour?
